MERSEYSIDE dad-of-one Darryl Bundy was killed in Felixstowe, Suffolk after being stabbed in the chest in a street attack.

Police said Darryl Bundy, 29, who died on Friday night, was from the Wirral.

Mr Bundy, who is thought to be a tattoo artist and has a young son, was attacked in Selvale Way, in Felixstowe at around 9pm.

Police and paramedics were called to the quiet residential area near a local takeaway.

Mr Bundy was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital where, despite the efforts of doctors, he later died.

A post-mortem carried out over the weekend recorded the cause of death as stab wounds.

Three men have so far been arrested and questioned about the killing.

On Friday night, detectives arrested a 23-year-old man from Ipswich on suspicion of murder while a 24-year-old from Felixstowe was held on suspicion of aggravated burglary in connection with the same incident.

Then on Saturday, a 54-year-old man, also from Felixstowe, was picked up and held on suspicion of murder.

All three men were later released on police bail until February.

A tribute site on social networking site Facebook was set up in the aftermath of Mr Bundy’s death by his devastated family.

One tribute said he was a “loved brother, partner, friend, son, father and an all around amazing person.”

The post continued: “His life was taken without though or care and he did not deserve any of it.

“He was a beautiful person, he always done things with good intention in him and he always put a smile on everyone’s face.

“He was one of the best people on this planet and he left his mark on may people.
